About the formats
TIFF image
TIFF is a high-fidelity raster format favoured in publishing, photography and scanning. It preserves maximum detail and supports layers, multiple pages and lossless compression.
Strengths

- Large files
- Poor browser/web support
- Overkill for everyday sharing
Best for: Printing, archiving and professional photo or scan workflows that demand top quality.
PNG image

Strengths
- Lossless — perfect, repeatable quality
- Full transparency (alpha channel)
- Crisp text, lines and flat colour
Limitations
- Larger files than JPG for photos
- No native animation
- Not ideal for large photographic images
Best for: Logos, icons, screenshots and any graphic that needs transparency or pixel-perfect edges.
